"Xiao Feng, why is there so much money on the table?" Mother Tang asked.
"I will discuss with Xiaoli and sign up for driving lessons later." Tang Feng replied.
"Learning to drive? This is a good thing! Do you have enough money?" Tang's mother then asked.
"Absolutely. Mainly, I don't know how much it costs to learn to drive now."
"You kid! I'll get you some more." Tang's mother turned around and returned to the room.
Soon, she came over with a stack of hundred-dollar bills and put them together with Tang Feng's money.
"I got two thousand for you! If it's not enough, call me again and I'll give it to you," Tang's mother said.
"Yeah." Tang Feng nodded.
He collected the cash.
My pocket suddenly bulged.
Since there is no mobile Internet yet, there is no mobile payment.
Except for a small number of transactions that can be swiped by card, the vast majority of transactions are completed in cash.
Before his rebirth, Tang Feng had already adapted to the convenience of mobile payment.
Now that we have returned to the cash era, we are somewhat uncomfortable.
"Tang Feng, are you full?" Su Xiaoli asked.
"I am full."
"Now that we're full, let's go to the driving school to sign up." Su Xiaoli suggested.
"good!"
Tang Feng said goodbye to his parents, and then left home with Su Xiaoli.
"Honey, what were Xiaofeng and Xiaoli doing just now? Why did I hear Xiaofeng laughing so happily?" Tang Long took a bite of the flower roll and asked.
"I don't know either!" Tang's mother shook her head and said, "It's probably some happy event."
"A happy event? Could it be that the college entrance examination scores are out?" Tang Long couldn't help but guess.
"Probably not yet. If I remember correctly, it should be the day after tomorrow." Tang's mother replied.
"What kind of happy event can there be?" Tang Long was a little puzzled.
"Okay! Stop guessing here! After dinner later, we'll go buy groceries." Tang's mother urged the other party.
Tang Long didn't say anything and wolfed down the food quickly.
Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli were walking on the road in the community.
From time to time, people greeted him.
After all, their family owns a supermarket in front of the community, so it would be difficult not to recognize him.
Soon, they took the bus to Tianqiao Driving School.
Tianqiao Driving School is the largest driving school in Binjiang City.
Not only is it strong in strength, but it also has a good reputation.
Tang Feng asked the janitor on duty at the door, and then came to the office building.
"Are you two here to learn how to drive?" A sweet-looking young lady received them.
"Yes." Tang Feng nodded and asked, "How much does it cost to learn to drive now?"
"You came at the right time! Our driving school is holding an event! Now it only costs 800 yuan to learn to drive!" the young lady replied.
"Eight hundred?" Tang Feng was obviously stunned when he heard this number.
He originally thought that learning to drive would cost at least 1,500 yuan, so he was worried that the 3,000 yuan he had prepared would not be enough.
It was precisely because of this that when his mother gave him money, he did not refuse.
I didn't expect it to be so cheap!
In fact, this is just Tang Feng's illusion.
He is a reborn person, but when it comes to prices, his thinking still remains before he was reborn.
The reason why he thought 800 yuan was cheap was because before he was reborn, the cost of learning to drive had already risen to more than 3,000 yuan.
But he forgot that this was 2003 and wages were very low.
Eight hundred yuan is equivalent to the monthly income of an ordinary person.
In vertical comparison, it is not cheap, and may even be more expensive.
"What? Do you think it's expensive?" Seeing his surprised look, the young lady couldn't help but guess.
"No." Tang Feng shook his head and said, "I'm just confused about the price."
"Our previous price for driving lessons was 1,200 yuan. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone familiar with it. To be honest, the discounts in this event are very strong, and it will definitely increase back after a while."
"If you pay now, when will you learn to drive?" Tang Feng asked.
"What do you mean by learning to drive? Theory or practice?" The young lady didn't quite understand.
"theory."
"For theory, we will provide study materials. Then you can take them back and memorize them carefully. After a week, you can arrange the exam."
"Where can I pay?" Tang Feng asked.
"Follow me." The young lady led the way.
Soon, they came to the payment window.
Tang Feng handed over the money and the cashier issued a receipt.
Then Tang Feng got the study materials, said goodbye to the young lady, and left with Su Xiaoli.
From beginning to end, Su Xiaoli never said a word.
Working with Tang Feng really made her feel relaxed.
The boy in front of her who was the same age as her had stronger social skills than she had imagined.
Tang Feng seemed to be somewhat mature beyond his years.
"Xiaoli, do you want to go home or eat out for lunch?" Tang Feng discussed with the other party.
"No matter what you do! I listen to you." Su Xiaoli responded.
"I know there is a shop that makes very good noodles! How about we go and try it?"
"OK!"
Not long after, they came to a noodle shop near Lotus Bay.
The noodle shop is not big and looks a bit inconspicuous.
In Tang Feng's memory, this noodle shop has been open for almost twenty years.
He and Su Xiaoli walked in, found a seat and sat down.
The boss came over and asked them what they wanted to eat.
Tang Feng ordered two bowls of shaved noodles, one large and one small.
"Should we order anything else?" Tang Feng discussed with Su Xiaoli.
"No! I can't even finish a bowl of noodles."
Soon, two steaming bowls of noodles were delivered to them.
Tang Feng took a bite while it was hot.
It's indeed a familiar smell.
interesting!
He ate the bowl of noodles in front of him in one go, not even sparing the soup base.
Su Xiaoli looked at him, a little stunned.
She hasn’t moved her chopsticks yet!
Tang Feng has finished eating!
This is too fast!
"Xiaoli, why don't you eat?" Tang Feng asked while wiping his mouth with a napkin.
"I don't feel very hungry. If you're not full, I can share half of it with you." Su Xiaoli offered it on her own initiative.
"No need!" Tang Feng waved his hand and said, "I'm full."
"But..." Su Xiaoli hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?"
"If you don't eat, watch me eat. I always feel weird." Su Xiaoli was a little embarrassed.
"It's easy! You eat here, and I'll chat with the boss." As soon as Tang Feng finished speaking, he stood up, walked to the boss, and sat down.
The boss was peeling garlic. When he saw Tang Feng coming, he stopped what he was doing.
Su Xiaoli looked at his back, smiled, and started eating noodles.
"Boss, your shaved noodles are really good!" Tang Feng took the initiative to chat with the other party.
"It's okay! If you are willing to eat, you can come often." The boss responded.
"But can I give you a little advice?" Tang Feng discussed with the other party.
"Yes! There's nothing wrong with this!" The boss agreed readily.
Tang Feng expressed his opinion.
The boss was a little disapproving at first.
After all, in his eyes, Tang Feng was just a young boy.
Who is qualified to comment on the noodles he makes?
It's just that because the other party is a customer, he is embarrassed to refute the other party's face.
Who knew that Tang Feng's suggestions were very practical.
And the wording is quite precise.
It's completely effortless to understand.
His attitude towards Tang Feng suddenly took a 180-degree turn and became obviously respectful.
